"A conference by Penn State, for Penn State."

Founded in 2013, State of State is a student-run organization at Penn State University, committed to facilitating a dialogue within the university community about important Penn State-related issues. This dialogue culminates every year in a spring conference at which we bring together student, faculty, administration, alumni, and community leaders to speak about a variety of Penn State and State College topics, ranging from student life to mental health to town-and-gown relations. Our goal is to bring together passionate change-makers who can make our community stronger and more successful. Join this ongoing conversation “by Penn State, for Penn State” at our year-round special events and in February for our annual State of State conference.​

Thanks for attending our 2018 conference! See you next year!

Have suggestions on how we can improve State of State?​We are always trying to improve our conference and special events in hopes of engendering productive dialogue. Therefore, we have created a questionnaire that we would like to share with you in order to gather critical feedback.

Thanks!

We want to say thank you to everyone who supported our fifth annual conference. State if State 2018 would not have been such a resounding success without the engagement of our team, attendees, live stream viewers, sponsors, and partners! Thank you once again as participating in this kind of dialogue is the first step to actualizing change on campus.
